In this twenty-first entry in the series, Inspector Ghote of Bombay is directed by the commissioner of police to interrogate the scientists at a prestigious research center.
Asking questions is Ghote's specialty, and he battles indifference from the local police, the egotism of the head scientist, and foot-dragging on the part of his own superiors to find the guilty party.
They concern police inspector Ghote (working in India, natch) who differs greatly from the typical detective hero: he's a cog in a vast, often indifferent machine, polite, reserved, carefully trying not to offend anyone.
